BlackBerry will release new phones for the small but vocal minority of "keyboard aficionados," the company's CEO said as part of the company's earnings announcement last week.

According to fan site Crackberry.com, CEO John Chen said that the company is planning three major "high-end" devices with keyboards, including the previously hinted-at "BlackBerry Classic." Chen also said the company is considering bringing the BBM messaging app to desktops.
